Definitions

  • Plasma processing apparatuses are used to perform processes including plasma etching of substrates made of semiconducting, dielectric and metallic materials, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition (CND), ion implantation and resist removal.
  • Plasma processing apparatuses include components that are exposed to plasma environments. In view of the desire to increase process yields, there is a need for plasma-exposed components that provide for reduced particle contamination in such plasma environments.
  • the methods can produce quartz glass surface finishes that reduce the incidence of quartz and metal particulate, and molecular metal contamination when used in plasma processing apparatuses. Components having such finished quartz glass surfaces are also provided.
  • a preferred embodiment of a method of surface finishing a component including at least one quartz glass surface comprises mechanically polishing at least one quartz glass surface of the component, chemically etching the mechanically polished quartz glass surface, and cleaning the etched quartz glass surface to remove metal contaminants from the surface.
  • Components finished by preferred embodiments of the methods include at least one plasma-exposed quartz glass surface.
  • the components can also include at least one non-plasma-exposed quartz glass surface, such as a vacuum sealing surface.
  • Plasma-exposed surfaces of the components can be finished to a different surface mo ⁇ hology than non-plasma-exposed surfaces.
  • the finished components can be used in plasma processing apparatuses to provide for reduced contamination of substrates.
  • Methods of surface finishing components preferably achieve low levels of metal contaminants on quartz glass surfaces.
  • the components preferably can provide for reduced metal particulate and molecular metal contamination of substrates when used in plasma processing apparatuses.
  • Preferred embodiments of the methods can be used to finish components that have either been previously exposed, or have not been previously exposed, to plasma in the plasma processing apparatus.
  • Preferred embodiments of methods of etching semiconductor substrates in a plasma chamber of a plasma processing apparatus, which contains one or more components that have been finished as described above, are also provided.
  • FIG. 1 is an SEM micrograph (at lOOOx) of a slurry-polished quartz glass surface.
  • FIG. 2 is an SEM micrograph (at lOOOx) of a quartz glass surface that has been slurry-polished and plasma conditioned.
  • FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of a first preferred embodiment of a quartz glass finishing process.
  • FIG. 4 is an SEM micrograph (at lOOOx) of a quartz glass surface treated according to a preferred embodiment of the quartz glass finishing process.
  • FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the number of particles added to a silicon wafer during a plasma etch process, for a quartz glass window processed according to a preferred embodiment ("D"), and for a slurry-polished quartz glass window (" ⁇ ").
  • FIG. 6 shows the number of atoms/cm 2 of different metals on a slurry- polished quartz glass component without exposure to plasma ("A"), a slurry- polished quartz glass component that has been exposed to plasma (“B”), and a quartz glass component processed according to a preferred embodiment ("C").
  • FIG. 7 shows a flow chart of a second preferred embodiment of a quartz glass finishing process.
  • FIG. 8 shows a slurry-ground sealing surface of a quartz glass component.
  • FIG. 9 shows a dielectric window including plasma-exposed and sealing surfaces that can be treated by the quartz glass finishing method.
  • FIG. 10 is an enlarged partial view of the dielectric window shown in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 11 shows a gas injector including plasma-exposed and sealing surfaces that can be treated by the quartz glass finishing method.
  • Particle performance is a concern in the processing of various materials, such as semiconductor materials, dielectric materials and metals, in plasma processing apparatuses. Particulate contaminants that adhere to substrates processed in plasma reactors can reduce product yield.
  • One source of particulate contamination in plasma reactors is a plasma exposed surface of a component.
  • Components including plasma-exposed surfaces can be made by processes including sintering and/or machining of one or more surfaces of the components. These steps result in damage to the surfaces, leaving the surfaces fractured and discontinuous. These fractures are a potential source of particle generation during plasma processing. Slurry polishing can reduce the size of the particles; however, it does not eliminate the particles.
  • FIG. 1 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrograph of a surface of a quartz glass dielectric window that has been slurry-polished. Quartz glass surfaces that have been machined by other techniques have damage similar to that shown in FIG. 1. It has also been determined that components made of quartz glass can be installed in a plasma reactor and conditioned before achieving production conditions for semiconductor substrates in the plasma reactor, in order to reduce the incidence of quartz-related particulate contamination of the substrates. Conditioning wafers may be installed in the plasma reactor during conditioning. The plasma removes material from the plasma-exposed surfaces of the components by etching. Plasma-exposed surfaces preferably have a morphology that reduces quartz and metal particulate. Eventually, enough quartz material is removed by the conditioning treatment to achieve an acceptable surface quartz particulate level.
  • FIG. 2 is an SEM micrograph of a surface of a quartz glass dielectric window that has been slurry-polished and then conditioned in a plasma reactor by plasma exposure (50 hours).
  • conditioning treatments require many hours of lost production time, and can require up to ten or more days, to produce a suitable surface finish on plasma-exposed surfaces of components for use in plasma processing.
  • such conditioning treatment requires significant down time of the plasma reactor in order to achieve suitable particle performance by the components.
  • the conditioning treatment requires associated expenses, including the costs of conditioning wafers, operator monitoring, and intervention.
  • surfaces of quartz glass components that need to provide a vacuum seal in plasma reactors to prevent air flow paths in a plasma processing chamber i.e., sealing surfaces (for example, O-ring seating surfaces) need to have a finish that provides suitable vacuum sealing performance.
  • sealing surfaces are not plasma-exposed surfaces.
  • a desirable vacuum seal surface finish can be significantly different from a desirable plasma-exposed surface. It has been determined that components having both plasma-exposed and vacuum seal surfaces preferably should have significantly different surface finishes at these different locations on the same component.
  • FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of a first preferred embodiment of a method of surface finishing quartz glass.
  • the method can be practiced to finish one or more quartz glass surfaces of a component useful for a plasma processing apparatus.
  • the one or more finished surfaces preferably include at least one surface that is exposed to plasma when the component is installed in a plasma reactor.
  • the component can be a gas injector, dielectric window, electrode, view port, edge ring, focus ring, confinement ring, or the like, for a plasma reactor.
  • Preferred embodiments of the methods of finishing quartz glass can be used to finish quartz glass surfaces of components made of quartz glass, as well as quartz glass surfaces (for example, coatings) of components that may comprise materials other than quartz glass.
  • the method preferably includes mechanical polishing, chemical etching, and cleaning steps to produce a desired surface finish on a component.
  • Components that can be processed by the method can have various shapes, such as plate shapes, disk shapes, ring shapes (for example, dielectric windows, view ports, edge rings, and the like), and cylindrical shapes, and surfaces having combinations of different shapes.
  • the components can have various sizes.
  • the quartz glass components are preferably made of flame-fused natural quartz.
  • Flame-fused natural quartz is typically available in the form of boules, which can be processed to the desired shape and size.
  • the quartz glass can alternatively be arc-fused natural quartz, or synthetic quartz, for example.
  • the quartz glass material Prior to performing the finishing treatment, the quartz glass material preferably has a bulk purity level of any metal of less than about 10 ppm. This metal purity level in quartz glass can provide a metal level resulting from the bulk that is much lower than the surface metal level. Reducing the impurity level of metals in the quartz glass material reduces the incidence of particles and/or on- substrate defects related to the metals.
  • Quartz glass components that may be finished by preferred embodiments of the method can be in a machined and/or sintered condition.
  • plate- shaped quartz glass components can be cut from a boule and machined to a desired shape.
  • Machined and/or sintered components can be machined to a desired configuration and surface condition using any suitable process, such as diamond grinding, or the like.
  • the quartz glass components are preferably mechanically polished to a desired surface finish.
  • the mechanical polishing preferably involves slurry- polishing one or more surfaces of the component to a desired surface finish.
  • the slurry can contain a suitable abrasive material including, for example, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, diamond, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, or the like.
  • the abrasive material preferably has a particle size that produces a desired surface finish level on the slurry-polished surface(s) of the component.
  • the mechanical polishing of the quartz glass component preferably can achieve the same surface finish, or alternatively can achieve a different surface finish, at different surface locations of the component.
  • one or more plasma-exposed surfaces of the component can be mechanically polished to a different surface finish than one or more non-plasma-exposed surfaces (for example, sealing surfaces).
  • the mechanical polishing preferably achieves a desired quartz glass surface morphology prior to chemical etching so that the etching achieves a surface morphology similar to a plasma-exposed surface.
  • the etched surface preferably has the same effective surface area, and is essentially damage-free and fracture-free.
  • the mechanically polished surface morphology can be quantified, for example, by the arithmetical mean roughness, Rg.
  • the R a of the mechanically polished surface(s) is preferably about 5-30 microinches (about 0.125-0.75 microns), and more preferably about 12-20 microinches (about 0.3-0.5 microns).
  • different surfaces can be mechanically polished to different finishes.
  • plasma-exposed surfaces can be mechanically polished to a lower R ⁇ value (i.e., a smoother finish), than non- ⁇ plasma-exposed surfaces, for which particulate removal during plasma processing is of less concern.
  • the machining and mechanical polishing steps can result in fractured surfaces, which are a source of particles of quartz glass and/or metal on machined and/or mechanically polished surfaces of the component.
  • the attached particles can be a source of particle contamination during plasma processing of substrates. Accordingly, it is desirable to reduce the number of attached particles to a suitably low count prior to the processing of substrates with the component present in the plasma reactor. As described above, attached particles can be removed from plasma reactor components by plasma conditioning techniques; however, these techniques are not completely satisfactory.
  • the etch step preferably removes attached quartz glass and metal contaminant particles from the treated component surface(s), and preferably achieves a surface morphology that is similar to that of a plasma-exposed surface.
  • the etch step preferably uses a fluorine-containing etching liquid that is effective to etch quartz glass.
  • the fluorine-containing etching liquid can be an etching solution containing hydrofluoric acid (HF), ammonium fluoride (NH 3 HF), ammonium bifluoride (NH 4 FHF), or mixtures thereof.
  • the etching liquid also can contain additives, such as nitric acid (HNO 3 ), or other acids.

  • the surface morphology of the etched surface can be characterized, for example, by the Rg value of the surface.
  • the etch step preferably achieves an R ⁇ value of about 1-100 microinches (about 0.025-2.5 microns) at one or more selected surfaces of the component.
  • the R, value that is desired for a given component surface can vary depending on the type of component, as well as the type of surface finished (for example, plasma-exposed surfaces versus non-plasma-exposed surfaces).
  • the actual surface area of the component is changed.
  • the nominal surface area of the component is determined by its physical dimensions.
  • the actual surface area of the component additionally takes into account surface roughness. Increasing the surface roughness increases the actual surface area of a component.
  • the chemical etching step preferably achieves a ratio of the actual surface area/nominal surface area of the component that approximates the ratio that plasma-exposed (or plasma conditioned) components can have.
  • the chemical etching step preferably achieves a ratio of the actual surface area/nominal surface area of the component of about 1.1-4, and more preferably about 1.2-1.5.
  • the surface morphology of the component resulting from the etching step can also be characterized by the feature length of the surface morphology, which provides a measure of the spatial frequency of the surface roughness.
  • the feature length of the etched surface of the component preferably is about 1-50 microns.
  • the desired feature length value for a given surface can depend on the type of component that is finished, as well as the type of surface (for example, plasma- exposed surfaces versus non-plasma-exposed surfaces).
  • the cleaning step removes metal contaminants from the surface of the etched quartz glass component.
  • the cleaning step comprises contacting the quartz glass component with a liquid having a suitably high solubility for metals that, if present, preferably are removed from the component by the cleaning.
  • metals include, but are not limited to, Al, B, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Ni, K, Na, Ti and/or Zn.
  • Suitable solvents that can be used for cleaning quartz glass to remove these metals include, but are not limited to, nitric acid (HNO 3 ), hydrofluoric acid (HF), phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ), oxalic acid (COOH) 2 , formic acid (HCOOH), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), hydrochloric acid (HC1), acetic acid (CH 3 COOH), citric acid (C 6 H g O 7 ), and mixtures thereof.

  • FIG. 4 is an SEM micrograph of a surface of a quartz glass dielectric window that has been treated by mechanical polishing, etching and cleaning steps according to a preferred embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 shows test results demonstrating the level of particle contamination (number of particles sized larger than 0.16 ⁇ m added to a silicon wafer during a plasma etching process) for a quartz glass window processed according to a preferred embodiment ("D") compared to a slurry-polished quartz glass window (" ⁇ ")•

Accordingly, apparatus downtime and expenses associated with plasma conditioning can be significantly reduced by using components finished by preferred embodiments of the method.
  • FIG. 6 shows the test results for the number of atoms/cm 2 of Al, B, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Ni, K, Na, Ti, and Zn present on a slurry-polished quartz glass component without exposure to plasma ("A"), a slurry-polished quartz glass component subjected to plasma exposure ("B"), and a quartz glass component processed according the preferred embodiment ("C"), respectively.

  • B a slurry-polished quartz glass component subjected to plasma exposure
  • C quartz glass component processed according the preferred embodiment
  • the finishing treatment according to the preferred embodiment significantly reduced the surface metal contamination level for each of the metals.
  • Metal contamination is undesirable because it can create defects in integrated circuits processed in a plasma reactor chamber containing contaminated quartz glass, either as particles deposited onto wafer surfaces, or as molecular contamination that diffuses into wafers and introduces undesirable impurities that adversely affect doping profiles, as well as wafer properties. Accordingly, preferred embodiments of the methods of treating quartz glass can reduce this problem.

  • the concentric grooves reduce, and preferably prevent, the passage of air to maintain desired vacuum integrity at the sealing surface.
  • one or more mechanically polished sealing surfaces of the quartz glass component are masked prior to the etching step to prevent the sealing surface(s) from also being etched. Accordingly, the etching step is performed to etch surfaces of the component other than the sealing surface(s).
